For foreigners who want to study in Germany, the most important German exam is DSH (Deutsche Sprachprufuer den Hochschulzugang Auslaendischer Student Bewerber). DSH used to be called PNdS. In Germany, it is only held twice a year. Organized by universities or a few language classes with special cooperation with schools before the start of school. After passing the exam, you can generally pass Germany. The examinations for DSH are usually held only in Germany, so many people came to Germany not far from Wan Li to take the examinations for DSH. Most of them had attended 800 hours of German training in China, but in the end they had to leave Germany because they could not pass the examinations for DSH (only twice). At present, China also has a DSH exam jointly held with Germany. Domestic universities offering DSH exams, such as German Center of Beijing Institute of Technology, German Center of Zhejiang University, German Center of Tongji University, Shanghai International Studies University, Beijing Foreign Studies University, etc. In 2004, Shanghai International Studies University and Karlsruhe University of Technology in Germany will jointly hold the DSH exam in our school (interested students can try it), and Beijing Foreign Studies University and Heidelberg University in Germany have also held several DSH exams, which I think many people know. I believe that in the next few years, more domestic universities and German universities will hold DSH exams together. Let's wait and see! ! !

Second, take the German Alsfremd Sprache (DAF) exam

TestDaF test, also known as "Telford" test, is an authoritative German language test for foreign German learners who want to study in Germany or those who generally just want to prove their German level. TestDaF test is divided into reading comprehension, listening comprehension, written expression and oral expression. If your German level reaches the highest level TDN5, there will be no language barriers in your study in Germany, and your achievements will be recognized by all universities in Germany. Every university in Germany has its own admission criteria. When applying for admission, please ask about the requirements of the university you want to attend for the Telford test scores. Some universities have published the requirements of Telford test scores on their websites. The results of the TestDaF test ("Telford" test) can be used to apply for a study visa. At present, only five universities in China are qualified to hold the TestDaF exam. They are:

1 Beijing: Peking University kaodian

2. Shanghai: Shanghai International Studies University Examination Center

3.Xi 'an: Xi International Studies University Examination Center

4. Wuhan: Wuhan University Examination Center

Dsh test, that is, German language test for admission to German universities, can be a way to study in Germany. Dsh was put forward and implemented by various universities, so the form, difficulty and examination time of each school are different. How to exempt dsh? Those who meet one of the following conditions may be exempted from dsh German high school graduation or equivalent; Having the "German Second Language Certificate" issued by the Conference of Ministers of Culture; Possess the "Central Advanced Examination Certificate" (ZOP) from Goethe Institute; Certificate of Small Languages (ksd) or Certificate of Large Languages (GSD) issued by Goethe Institute; Dsh is organized by foreign academic universities in cooperation with German preparatory courses or German majors as a foreign language. Graduates (Bachelor's degree) majoring in German from China University can apply to the Foreign Affairs Office of the university for exemption from the examination. Applicants with special majors and short-term advanced students who only study for one semester and at most two semesters can also apply to the foreign affairs office of the school for exemption. Dsh examination place: Tongji University, Shanghai International Studies University Examination Center (since 2004) dsh examination time: twice a year, the exact time is uncertain. How difficult is the German Entrance Examination (DSH)? It is quite difficult. It is required to learn 1000- 1200 class hours, master and skillfully use the basic knowledge of German pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, syntax, article structure, etc., have strong listening, speaking, writing and reading abilities, and be able to "understand the process, situation, coherent thoughts, viewpoints and intentions of things and express their opinions and intentions" in German. Even through DSH, it can only meet the needs of school study, work and life communication. How can I successfully pass the DSH exam? The only way is to choose a language class with clear teaching purpose and good quality, which can train listening, speaking, reading and writing at the same time, and teach for no less than 20 hours a week. You should study hard, pay attention to learning methods, persevere and lay a good foundation in German. If possible, please ask experienced teachers to introduce the requirements of DSH after completing the primary course, so as to be aware of it, and then continue to arrange the study purposefully and in a planned way, and finally realize their goals. There is no other shortcut. What are the conditions for DSH exemption? Those who meet one of the following conditions can be exempted from the test: 1) those who have graduated from German high school or equivalent; 2) Possess a "German University Diploma" issued by the Conference of Ministers of Culture; 3) Possess the "Central Advanced Examination Certificate" (ZOP) of Goethe Institute; 4) Possess the Certificate of Small Languages (KSD) or Certificate of Large Languages (GSD) issued by Goethe Institute; 5) have a "TestDaF" certificate; 6) DSH organized by China University in cooperation with German universities (effective in most universities). 7) Graduates (Bachelor's degree) majoring in German from China University can apply to the Foreign Affairs Office of the university for exemption. 8) Applicants of some special majors and short-term advanced students who only study for one semester and at most two semesters may also apply to the Foreign Affairs Office of the school for exemption. When will the DSH in German universities be held? Usually at the beginning of the semester. The admission notice issued by the school to the applicant will indicate the time and place of DSH. Many universities have pre-test classes for DSH. When applying for admission, they should send a letter to AkademischesAuslandsamt asking if they can attend. Which universities in China have language courses to prepare for DSH? It is understood that there are the following schools: the German Center of Beijing Institute of Technology and the German Center of Hangzhou Zhejiang University (both with the Technische Universit of Berlin University of Technology? T Berlin) and German Department of Beijing Foreign Studies University (with Heidelberg University? THeidelberg cooperation) and so on. Please consult the relevant schools for details. To what extent can I apply for admission in German? Except for international courses and individual majors, it is generally required to apply for admission for more than 800 hours. Since 2000, many universities often require students to take the DSH exam directly or show other valid "language certificates" when they enter school. This means that before that, you have to study at least 1- 1.5 years of regular German intensive classes (at least 20 hours/week) to cope with the exam. Fine arts, music and other pure art majors (except music education and design majors) can sometimes lower some language requirements for applicants with special talents. Do you have 800 hours of language to prove your ability to take the DSH exam? No. This is only the minimum requirement for some universities to submit application materials for admission. With this qualified language certificate, you can apply for language classes in universities and prepare for the DSH exam while applying for your major. If the university allows you to enter the free language class, you must pass the placement exam when you arrive at school. Then you still have to study 1- 2 semesters, and you can take the DSH after accumulating 1200 hours. It is worth noting that most college language classes do not offer basic courses. If you can't pass the grading and placement exam, you can only try to take a self-funded language class outside the school. In addition, many universities have limited places for free language courses, and schools usually require you to come to school on a specified date to take the DSH exam directly. What is TestDaF ("Dafu Test")? The german full name of TestDaF is testdeutsch als fremd sprache fü rausl? Ndische Studienbewerber, which means "foreign students apply for the entrance examination of German proficiency in Chinese as a foreign language", can be abbreviated as "Dafu Examination" in Chinese. TestDaF is a global standardized test item set by TestDaF-Institut, a subsidiary of Gesellschaft Fü r Akademische Test Entwicklung E.V., according to the TOEFL model. What is the purpose of setting up "Dafu Examination" in China? The main purpose of setting up "Dafu Examination" in China is to provide convenience for applicants preparing to study in Germany. Applicants can register for this exam in China before submitting the application materials for university entrance. If you reach the level of admission requirements and obtain the corresponding language certificate, you can send the complete application materials to German universities; If you don't meet the requirements, you can also know your own shortcomings so that you can continue to work hard. This not only avoids the inconvenience caused by failing the DSH exam after arriving in Germany, but also avoids the loss of time and money. Take applicants from China as an example. So far, they usually provide 600-800 hours of language proof when applying for German universities. However, the number of free language courses in universities is limited, which cannot meet the increasing demand of applicants. At present, many universities require applicants to take the DSH exam when they issue admission notices. However, many people's German level is far from the requirements of DSH exam, so they can't pass the exam, which not only wastes time and money, but also causes great mental pressure on themselves. Before going abroad, you can take the TestDaF exam and confirm your German level, so you can apply for university entrance with confidence and avoid worries. The benefits are obvious. What is the relationship between TestDaF and DSH? DSH is independently organized by German universities, with independent proposition and independent grading. TestDaF is a centralized proposition and revision by the German "Dafu Examination Institute". The examination was held in Germany, while "TestDaF-Prüfungszentrum" was held in relevant countries. At this stage, TestDaF and DSH coexist and go hand in hand. TestDaF's examination certificate is recognized by German state public universities. For example, if TestDaF reaches level 5, you can get into school directly without taking the DSH test. After a certain period of practice and experience, the two may also be combined into one.

What are the contents and requirements of "Dafu Examination"? What kind of certificates are issued? The content of the exam consists of Leseverstehen and Listening Comprehension (H? Rverstehen), written expression (SchriftlicherAusdruck) and oral expression (Mündlicher Ausdruck). Test scores are based on these four grades. According to the test results, the test grades are divided into three levels (TDN for short), namely, TDN 5, TDN 4 and TDN 3. TDN 5 is the highest level and has the same effect as DSH. Those who have reached Grade 5 in reading, listening, speaking and writing are allowed to enter the school directly; Two of the four items have reached Grade 5 and two have reached Grade 4, and the school may also grant admission as appropriate; If two of the four items reach Grade 4 and two reach Grade 3, they can also be admitted to the school, but they must continue to cram German after entering the school. Finally, the school will check whether they meet the requirements. If three or four of the four items only reach Grade 3, you are not allowed to enter the school, but you can continue to improve your German level according to the requirements of "Dafu Test" and apply for the test again for an unlimited number of times. Those who have reached Grade 3 or above can get a language certificate with all grades, valid for 2 years. Those who fail to reach the third grade in the exam can get a certificate to take the exam.
